Former candidate backs Udom

A former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom State, Jerome Isangedighe, has given his support to the party’s candidate, Udom Emmanuel.

Isangedighe led his supporters to a public endorsement rally yesterday at the Udom/Moses 2015 Campaign Office in Uyo.

Isangedighe, who represents Oron/Udung Uko in the House of Assembly, said he was supporting Udom because he wants the growth of the state.

He said he would work with Udom to actualise his vision for a greater Akwa Ibom.

“We are here because of the love that we have for Akwa Ibom. We support unity and are ready to work sincerely. We pledge our solidarity to you. We say you should continue to lead. And we know you will lead us well.

“Akwa Ibom is greater than anybody. I was a governorship aspirant, but Udom won at the primaries and that is why I am supporting him. We will continue to be the foremost state in Nigeria.”
